Fight mania will fire up this week on MAIN EVENT with two unmissable events, Tszyu v Spark on Wednesday, July 7 and UFC 264 on Sunday, July 11.
In a major coup for boxing and UFC fans, both events plus all future Main Event fights will now be available to stream via pay-per-view on Kayo at mainevent.kayosports.com.au, in addition to purchasing through Foxtel.
The action begins on Wednesday night when the biggest name in Australian boxing and Australia’s number one boxer Tim Tszyu will take on contender and rising boxer Stevie Spark.
Tim Tszyu holds an impressive current undefeated record of 18-0, including 14 wins by knockout and is now ranked inside the top 10 with all major sanctioning bodies. Tszyu became the hero of Newcastle in March this year when he defeated world-ranked opponent Dennis Hogan and now makes his return to the dubbed ‘Tszyucastle’ Entertainment Centre looking to take down Spark as he edges his way closer to a world title fight.
His opponent Stevie Spark is already winning praise after stepping in on seven days’ notice with original opponent Michael Zerafa pulling out of the fight. The 24-year-old boxer from Toowoomba has been rising up the ranks in Australia with a pro-record of 12 wins, including 11 by knockout and 1 loss.
His most recent win was over Jack Brubaker, an opponent he shares with Tszyu, via unanimous decision in April. The July 7 bout with Tszyu will see Spark jump up a division to super welterweight.
On Sunday, July 11, two of the top UFC lightweights go head-to-head once again in UFC 264 when the infamous Conor “The Notorious” McGregor faces the No.1 Lightweight contender Dustin Poirier in an explosive trilogy bout.
McGregor and Poirier will finally settle their rivalry when they clash in their Lightweight trilogy bout on UFC 264. The pair first fought in a Featherweight bout at UFC 178 back in September 2014 where McGregor made quick work of Poirier scoring a TKO win in less than two minutes. McGregor went on to become a two-division champion as Poirier matured into one of the greatest lightweights in UFC history. The pair squared off in a Lightweight rematch in January at UFC 257, where Poirier prevailed via a second-round knockout. This week at UFC 264, one man will have their hand raised and claim superiority in the rivalry, seven years after it began.
Also on the card, Australian UFC fighter ‘Bam Bam’ Tai Tuivasa steps into the Octagon to face Greg Hardy in the Heavyweight bout. Tuivasa is looking for his third consecutive win after previously knocking out Stefan Struve and Harry Hunsucker taking his record to 12-3.
